Greetings from the University of Victoria


Tomorrow the Regional meeting begins at the University of Victoria.  Our business meeting will take place during the Saturday afternoon session beginning at approximately 2:40 pm.  If your schedule permits, please try to attend. 

Two proposals for next year's meeting in Spokane will be discussed.  First, we would like to schedule a poster session.  This will provide a different avenue for presenting research.  

Second, we plan to invite SAMR (Society for Ancient Mediterranean Religions) to organize one session dedicated to women and religion in the ancient Mediterranean.  Ardy will be discussing ideas with SAMR's secretary-treasurer, Eric Orlin.  If you are interested in knowing more about this group, please see their website:  http://socamr.wikispaces.com/ and consider joining!

If you are unable to attend the meeting this year and you have comments or suggestions about next year, please feel free to email Ardy and Valarie. We welcome your ideas!!
